Engineered Ventialtion

Proven through years of experience in countless projects our non-moving-parts ventilation systems are now modeled using Computational
Fluid Dynamics [CFD], a tool that is project dependent. RVI Engineered Ventilation designs and develops ventilation systems to handle all heat-load levels from hot-spot furnace areas to general on-site workshops. They too are part of the complete ventilation solution.

Construction

Contracts

RVI was one of the first companies to adopt the concept of Single Responsibility Services, thus bringing various aspects of the project under one contract to maximise accountability.

Warranties

Because we take responsibility for engineering design, product manufacture, supply, construction management and fixing, we guarantee the performance of the finished product and its components where and when they matter most – in situ as a working entity.

Gravity Ventilation Systems

Gravity ventilation systems are an essential part of the buildings functionality. Their specific function is essential to the building envelope, the system clears fumes and heat from within the building ensuring a safe working environment.

Each system is designed to meet the individual requirements of a specific structure, and because our systems have been independently designed, our clients can depend on the knowledge they will function as predicted when in place.

RVI’s systems meet the global requirements of high heat load buildings on a daily basis, from aluminum smelters to power stations and glass manufacturing plants. These engineered solutions are in operation 24/7.

Gravity Ventilation Design

Our ventilation systems function optimally because RVI has the ability to predict their intended installed performance in advance. The use of state-of-the-art engineering techniques, coupled with more than 80 years’ experience, ensures we provide the most cost-effective and technically superior solutions for our clients.

General Features:

Gravity ventilation systems are designed to take advantage of the naturally existing thermal forces in a known structure.

Air inlet systems at ground level allow cool air to flow into the structure. The warmer air inside the structure rises and flows out through roof mounted ventilators. The speed of this action increases and decreases in line with temperature changes in the building, creating ‘rivers of air’ that keep conditions inside the envelope within specified parameters.

Because there are no moving parts, there is nothing to impede this action or break it down.
